Statistical Inference. Statistical InferenceStatistical Inference is a procedure whereby, on the basis of observed data in a particular sample, we generalize and draw conclusions about the population from which the sample is drawn. Two general methods:. Statistical Inference. 1.Estimation of unkno

Confidence Intervals

Confidence Intervals. Whenever we make a confidence interval we should follow these steps to be sure that we include all parts:. State the type of interval (our first intervals are Z -intervals). Meet assumptions (explain how each is met).

Confidence Intervals

Confidence Intervals. General Mean (  ). Computation. First, edit and summarise the data. Obtain: sample size (n), sample mean (m) and sample standard deviation(sd). Note the indicated confidence level for the desired interval. Obtain the confidence coefficient (Z) via table look-up.
